I have tended to use sanitised marbles to weigh the dry hop bag down

I wash my bottles in the sink then sanitize in the 5 gallon fermenting bucket when I am ready to bottle up from the carboy

I replace the 5 day hops for fresh ones, generally I use leaf hops as they don't disintegrate and get through the material I use. As for the grassy note I have no idea, others on here will do though
